Display Warnings And Maintenance
LIMITED OPERATION WARNING
If a warning message appears in the instrument cluster
display indicating limited operation of the ACC system, a
fault or obstruction of the system’s radar or camera may
have occurred.
If an obstruction is detected, clean the area of the
windshield opposite the interior rearview mirror, where the
camera is located, as well as the area of the front fascia/
bumper where the sensor is located. Then check that the
message has disappeared.
When the conditions limiting the system function as been
corrected, normal operation will resume.
Should the fault persist, contact an authorized dealer.
Precautions While Driving With ACC
In certain driving situations, ACC may have detection
issues. In these cases, ACC may brake late or
unexpectedly. The driver needs to stay alert and may need
to intervene. The following are examples of these types of
situations:
TOWING A TRAILER
Towing a trailer is not recommended when using ACC.
OFFSET DRIVING
ACC may not detect a vehicle in the same lane that is
offset from your direct line of travel, or a vehicle merging
in from a side lane. There may not be sufficient distance
to the vehicle ahead. The offset vehicle may move in and
out of the line of travel, which can cause your vehicle to
brake or accelerate unexpectedly.
Offset Driving Condition Example
TURNS AND BENDS
When driving on a curve with ACC engaged, the system
may increase or decrease the vehicle speed for stability,
with no vehicle ahead detected. Once the vehicle is out of
the curve, the system will resume your original set speed.
This is a part of normal ACC system functionality.
NOTE:
On tight turns ACC performance may be limited.
USING ACC ON HILLS
ACC performance may be limited when driving on hills.
ACC may not detect a vehicle in your lane depending on
the speed, vehicle load, traffic conditions, and the
steepness of the hill.
